There's a wierd close paren after runningnumber field. Although I don't think that should cause the whitespace problem. Don't know why you would get whitespace. You didn't include the tabledef, but maybe it doesn't work properly when the field is blank. Test a table with other field values that you know are blank to see how it get's laid out. So far, I've just stuck the item notes after the item description right on the line item. But I like your approach better b/c it seems easier to wrap it in a different font. For long notes, it's nice to have smaller font and use more of the page width. Re: page wrapping, you'll have to experiment. I know Form.pm does have logic that handles page breaks, so hopefully it will just work. m ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
